Memorandum on Emergency Military Assistance to the Dominican Republic


July 15, 1994

Presidential Determination No. 94-34

Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense

Subject: Determination To Authorize the Furnishing of Emergency Military 
Assistance to the Dominican Republic Under the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 506(a)(1) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(1) (the 
``Act''), I hereby determine that:
    (1) an unforeseen emergency exists, which requires immediate 
military assistance to the Dominican Republic; and
    (2) the emergency requirement cannot be met under the authority of 
the Arms Export Control Act or any other law except section 506 of the 
Act.
    Therefore, I hereby authorize the furnishing of up to $15 million in 
defense articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense, defense 
services of the Department of Defense, and military education and 
training to the Dominican Republic.
    The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to report this 
determination to the Congress and to arrange for its publication in the 
Federal Register.
                                            William J. Clinton

Statement on Proposed Crime Legislation

July 22, 1994

    For over a year, Congress and others have worked to pass a tough, 
smart crime bill. I am very grateful to Chairmen Jack Brooks and Joe 
Biden for their leadership throughout the crime bill debate, and I am 
heartened to know that the House-Senate conference will convene next 
Tuesday to begin its final work on the proposal.
    We have put together a tough and serious legislative remedy to 
reduce violence and prevent crime. But until a bill is passed by 
Congress and signed into law, our work is not finished. I am confident 
that committee members will act quickly on the conference and that we 
will see a final bill passed.
    The American people have asked us to help in our Nation's fight to 
curb the problem of violence and crime. We can meet this common goal by 
putting aside differences and partisanship. By working together, we will 
enact an historic crime law before the end of this legislative session. 
The American people demand and deserve no less.

Statement on Signing the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1995

July 22, 1994

    Today I have signed into law H.R. 4454, the Legislative Branch 
Appropriations Act, 1995. H.R. 4454 provides fiscal year 1995 
appropriations to fund the Congress, the Congressional Budget Office, 
the Office of Technology Assessment, the Architect of the Capitol, the 
General Accounting Office, the Government Printing Office, and the 
Library of Congress.
    In signing the bill into law, I note that this Act, the purpose of 
which is to provide ap-

propriations for the legislative branch, also contains provisions 
affecting the operations of the executive branch. As a matter of comity, 
legislative branch appropriations acts historically have not contained 
provisions affecting the executive branch, and the executive branch has 
not commented on provisions of these acts. Since this Act contains 
provisions that depart from that standard, it is appropriate to express 
my views on these provisions. These provisions concern the involvement 
of the Public Printer and the Government Printing Office in executive 
branch printing related to the production of Government publications. 
Specifically, the Act includes amendments to existing law that expand 
the involvement of the Public Printer and the Government Printing Office 
in executive branch functions.
    The Act raises serious constitutional concerns by requiring that 
executive branch agencies receive a certification from the Public 
Printer before procuring the production of certain Government documents 
outside of the Government Printing Office. In addition, the Act expands 
the types of material that are to be produced by the Government Printing 
Office beyond that commonly recognized as ``printing.'' In light of 
these concerns, I will interpret the amendments to the public printing 
provisions in a manner that minimizes the potential constitutional 
deficiencies in the Act.
    In this regard, the exclusive authority of the Government Printing 
Office over ``the procurement of any printing related to the production 
of Government publications'' will be restricted to procurement of 
documents intended primarily for distribution to and use by the general 
public. Additionally, in light of the substantial expansion of the role 
of the Government Printing Office that would be occasioned by a broad 
reading of the term, ``duplicating,'' that term will be read to 
encompass only the reproduction inherent in traditional printing 
processes, such as composition and presswork, and not reproduced by 
other means, such as laser printers or photocopying machines.
    The concerns raised by this Act reinforce my eagerness and resolve 
to accomplish a comprehensive reform of Federal printing in accordance 
with constitutional principles, an effort that began last year with the 
Vice President's National Performance Review. Reform legislation can 
improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Government printing by 
maximizing the use of private sector printing capability through open 
competitive procedures and by limiting Government-owned printing 
resources to only those necessary to maintain a minimum core capacity. 
Reform of Federal printing practices can also serve to enhance public 
access to public information, through a diversity of sources and in a
